I don't feed my lane. I do sometimes win it. But regardless of what I do,someone throws my game. If some of you empathise with me,and/or you've been though this yourself,please,let me know what you guys did. Before you suggest,champion abusing is not an option.

Its painful but I don't know what to do right now man.

The ranked ladder in lower elo is all sorts of fucked up. The most useful thing I've found recently is using an app like op.gg, or manually looking up people on your team. The op.gg app will show you their last 10, wins losses, if they are on a streak or whatever, wins or loses.

So you can dodge. LOL

I don't know what else to do. When you get someone in your game thats gone 1/9 in their last 10, all you can do is dodge.

I've given upto taking 30 minute penalties so I don't join a sure loss. I think I'm actually going to spend more time waiting to get unblocked than play the game now; but I should have much better odds of winning games. The system clearly tries to fuck you.

Skill levels of players are very clearly all over the place in games. Its nuts. The matching out of control bad.

If you post about it, the blues will tell you to focus on you. They can go fuck themselves. Its a real problem. Personally I think this game is going to take a giant faceplant. Its already losing tons of traction to overwatch and fortnight and stuff.

I don't think riot realizes that people will only watch the lcs if the game is fun. Not sure whats up, but great game, shit matching, = no fun. Not sure what to tell you. Lots of people are saying the same thing you are.

Try to play adc in low elo. HAHA.

The trick is, you have to be challenger already, and then you can climb. Or like 2 divisions above where you are, then maybe, maybe you can climb. You have to carry the scrubs to climb man! Oh is that why the ladder is all fucked up?

Its not as easy as that, but riot has a lot of work to do to fix the issues plaguing its ranked system. They aren't small fixes either, some required steps are entire overhauls of player management.

This being said,I was thinking,could you be reported for not corresponding with your current division level? If you feed/have no idea how to build in gold ello,could this be reportable so they drop a couple divisions at least in match making?

I took a look at your op.gg. You peaked at Plat 5 100 LP during the end of the season and the pre-season of Season 7, the time were people don't play seriously, so it doesn't really count. I'd put you in the Gold 1 elo bracket, which means you are not that much better than the competition you are facing to be stomping them and have something like a 70% win rate. Now, on to analyzing the other things.

You play way too many champions. You don't get to train a lot of a single champion to know them well, their limits, their tricks etc, and that can play a big role, especially since the champions you play a lot are Renekton, Kassadin and Galio. You need to focus on a few champions.

Your cs/min is horrible. It doesn't matter how well you do in lane, how many times you managed to kill your enemy, or how much pressure you were able to take and not feed. All it matters is how much you can outpace your enemies so that you are stronger regardless of if your team feeds them or not. The way you do that is to take advantage of any resource that's on the map to get gold and xp leads. You don't do that. You don't cs well, especially on champions who are supposedly easy to cs on, like Ziggs and Renekton. On Kassadin, it's even more horrible. You need to understand that League is a racing game; the player who's the fastest to reach a certain point will most likely win, and guess what, you're falling behind. You can't carry with your pace, because others are outpacing you, which brings me to my next point.

Don't play Galio, don't play Kassadin. Even Renekton is risky. If you're not willing to play jungle (and if you're not good at it, I suggest you stay away), then play something that is:

  1. safe in lane, doesn't need to take risks, so that it can cs well and level up safely

  2. have the tools to impact the early game, especially after level 6.

  3. be a safe champion overall in all stages of the game, while being able to deal damage and/or offer utility. Let's analyze.

  4. Having safety in lane is important. It means you don't really fall back no matter what happens. Even if you get ganked, you have the tools to repel it, and can then keep on csing. This means that you get cs and xp, which, as covered above, are extremely important to not fall behind in the race, while also not feeding the enemy. Guess which champion doesn't do that; Kassasin. You will naturally fall behind with Kassadin, and that's not good.

  5. Impacting the early game is the most important thing. If you can help your team not feed, then you will probably win. Guess who doesn't do that; Kassadin. Or Renekton with Ignite, as you like to play him. You need to be able to make plays and assist your team. Galio isn't good either, because it requires a teammate to be in the correct spot so you can ulti.

  6. Safe champion in all stages, damage/utility. This means that they need to have as many of the following traits as possible: mobility spell (dash, blink or even MS boost), range, damage, CC. Kassadin doesn't have that. He has blinks and damage, but doesn't have CC or range, which means that you need to have a team to play around your own strengths, and you won't find that in soloQ.

All the 3 points above lead to certain champions you need to play in order to have good chances to win. Taliyah is a good example. Safe laning with her pushing power and CC to repel ganks. Good damage to win 1v1s in lane, good range to safely cs and not fall behind. Then, she can roam even as a level 3, because of her passive, making her roaming so much more potent at level 6 with her R, so she can help her team quite a lot. She's also very safe (has the MS boost) because of her long range, her zoning field and her knock back, while offering damage and CC.

Other champions that fit that description are Annie, Ahri, Lucian, most ADCs (well, not in this patch anymore) and things like Irelia, Vladimir etc. All of the have quite a safe laning phase, with a lot of impact in the mid game and great late game.
